The surface of the Moon is already bathed with a high flux of radiation
from cosmic rays and the solar wind.

It is impossible to for humans to stay out on the lunar surface for any
length of time, within a few days they will accumulate a dose of
radiation from the natural sources which exceeds the annual safety
limit on Earth.

Nuclear waste will make no appreciable difference.
